Cases of severe #under eye dark circles from birth are rare.

In infancy, the facial bones are small, the orbital bones are not large, and the skin is firm, so it is difficult for the #under eye fat to push up under the skin and make it look like #dark circles.

As childhood passes and puberty begins, the facial bones suddenly grow and the orbital space becomes larger, and the #under eye fat gradually starts to protrude, making the #under eye dark circles worse.

This can also be one of the reasons teenagers may look very tired.

Depending on family history, it is quite common for it to appear gradually from the teenage years, worsen with age, and eventually lead to #under eye fat repositioning in the 20s or 30s.

And in many cases, by the time people reach their 40s, the under-eye area that once looked fine gradually becomes dark or puffy.

The worsening of #dark circles is caused by two things: dark pigmentation of the under-eye skin itself and the under-eye area becoming pouch-like and puffy. So if even one of the two improves,

it can get better. Causes of under-eye dark circles!

  1. Pigmentation of the skin itself

  2. Puffiness caused by under-eye skin, muscle, and fat

When people reach their 40s, the eye area is where aging starts first.

As the eyelid skin sags, the eyes gradually look smaller, fine lines appear around the eyes, and the under-eye area becomes puffy, changing into a middle-aged face as it ages, so it can be improved with #middle-aged cosmetic surgery.

Of course, the cause of #dark circles is not only puffiness from fat; pigmentation of the skin itself can also be counted as a cause of #dark circles, but the biggest cause of #under eye dark circles is still the #under eye fat that creates a puffy pouch under the eyes.

So, simply removing and repositioning this #under eye fat can significantly improve #under eye dark circles.

When you squeeze your eyes shut, the pressure inside the eyes rises, pushing the #under eye fat further forward and making the puffed pouch under the eyes worse.

If this #under eye fat is removed and then the remaining fat along the lower orbital rim is firmly secured with #fat repositioning, it can help prevent the under-eye area from becoming more puffy or the fat pouch from protruding further, even when you squeeze your eyes tightly.

The recovery period after #under eye fat removal and repositioning usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks.

For women with thin skin, the time needed for all bruising to disappear is around 1 week, whereas

for men with thicker eyelid skin, it can take a fairly long period of about 2 weeks for the small bruises to fade.

However, for both men and women, the swelling around the eyes goes down in less than 1 week.

Because men have thicker skin than women, if bruising occurs, it can take more than 2 weeks to go away.

Although swelling usually goes down in about 1 week and bruising takes about 2 weeks to fade, improving the puffy under-eye area that was present before surgery can create a much younger-looking impression.
